Peanut Butter

Considered by many the symbol of American snacks, peanut butter has been a staple of U.S. families for more than a century.

Its bittersweet taste makes peanut butter a versatile culinary addition to many foods: from the traditional peanut butter sandwich to more sophisticated dishes such as pasta or salads: this is the reason why it’s loved by children and adults, fast-food junkies and gourmet lovers!

You will discover that peanuts are actually legumes, not nuts, and they originated from Brazil, and that even the Incas appreciated the delicious taste of peanut butter many centuries before us! As for health benefits, the unsaturated fat content in peanut butter helps reduce the risk of heart disease by 25% (if you eat 1oz per day), its rich folate and niacin (vitamin B3) content helps increase the HDL (good cholesterol) level by as much as 30%, all while being a very good source of proteins (up to 25% of peanuts consists of proteins) and dietary fiber; the most unique property of peanut butter, though, is its high content in Resveratrol, a substance that’s been shown to have very strong anti-cancer properties.
